I am working on a mobile app and have a button that I want to be able to toggle. First push would turn leds on and next push would turn leds off. This action should be repeated each time I push the button. The following script toggles button on then off but does not repeat these actions again. Here is the code:Code:
#In Connect Script
$Pressed = 0
#Script for Mobile App Button
if (!$Pressed)
#High Beams On
Set (D17,ON)
Set (D19,ON)
Sleep (100)
$Pressed = 1
Else
#High Beams Off
Set (D17,OFF)
Set (D19,OFF)
Sleep (150)
$Pressed = 0
endif
The first time I push the button the lights come on and the second time I push the button the lights go off. This is good but any further pushes result in no action. I tried putting in a loop but still didn't work. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Rick
There is an EZ-Script bug:
script to reproduce the bug:
Code:
Change your code to:
Code:
Note: Spaces between Set and ( generates a parser error.
Thanks much, I will give this a go. In my mobile app script I don't have a space between Set and ( but thanks for the reminder. Rick

Thanks PTP, that works great. I have two other buttons that I want to do the same thing with but they don't work at all. I use the same exact code but different sets of leds but no go. I put the following code in the connect script for the second and third buttons:
Code:
Do I need to name these button variables with a unique name for each, other than Pressed? Thanks much...Rick
Evidently it is invalid to have variables $Pressed, $Pressed1, etc. When I changed the variable names to $Pressed, $Highbeams and $Taillights all three buttons worked as advertised. Normally $Pressed, $Pressed1 and $Pressed2 would be considered valid variables. Any thoughts on this. This appears not to be the case with ez-script? Thanks again...Rick
No problem with variables ending in numbers, must be something else.
Example project:
test_buttons.EZB
1) Start the init script
2) press the buttons and listen the press state on your desktop speakers.
Thanks PTP. I will give it a try and keep you posted....Rick
I tried again and included $Pressed, $Pressed1 and $Pressed2 in my connection script and the three mobile app buttons are working. Not sure why it didn't work yesterday. I was wondering if it has something to do with the variables being initialized in the connection script rather than a startup script. What is the difference between connection startup script and a separate startup script. Seems that the connection startup script is the best way to go as the script is run automatically on connection. Your thoughts are appreciated....Rick
How do I give you credit for answereing this thread? Thanks again....Rick
Thanks much for the clarification....Rick
